HELP 911! Setting 3 loop limit!

[nyketaset]

I need to set a flash mx banner limit to 3 times but I don't know how to do it exactly. I have a deadline for a project that is due and I really would appreciate it if anybody could help me out.

THANKS!!

make a new layer, Called actions. On the first frame of this layer make a key frame.

write this in the actions for that keyframe:

if(numberOfTimesToLoop == undefined){
numberOfTimesToLoop = 0
}

that's it forr that frame.

Now go to the last frame and create another keyframe on the actions layer. Write this in the actions for that keyframe:

if(numberOfTimesToLoop < 3){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
else{
stop()
}

that's it. It should only loop 3 times now.

You forgot to add a line to update/increment the numberOfTimesToLoop variable.

It should probably be like this:
if(numberOfTimesToLoop < 3){
gotoAndPlay(1);
numberOfTimesToLoop++;
}
else{
stop()
}
